Another show Space Rangers was hokey yes. I mean the sets were like WTF, but when I see it again it wasn't that bad, they just really needed to work on the show. With series like Babylon 5 and DS9 coming out at the same time you knew that show was going down. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Astromancer cwbadie@ wrote: Um...I NEVER watched Buck Rogers for the plot...when they tried to give it one, I stopped watching it...LOL Amanda cool_splash1@ wrote: I remember The Fantastic Journey, but after I got older I got eps from that show, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica mixed up.

[scifinoir2] Re: Anybody Remember This Scifi Series
That's what got on my nerves with Dinotopia. They were supposed to be on another world/dimension, but yet the people are wearing clothes that look like they come from Gap or the Limited. Another thing is I like the new BS and all, but what I liked about the old one was that the culture was totally different from ours. The new BS is way too Earth for me. It was more fun when Apollo was still Apollo, and Starbuck was still Starbuck. I liked the idea of ancient greek culture, but in a ship. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I agree with you there! In the wake of the FX craze following Star Wars, shows like Buck Rogers in the 25th Century and even the original Battlestar Galactica were more about the effects and space battles than the plot. At least Galactica and a *very* few others were sometimes intelligent. Buck Rogers started out fair, with Buck having to come to terms with the war that had devastated Earth. Some decent action. But it went downhill--Jumped the Shark--when they all got on that starship and explored the galaxy. Then, in addition to that irritating Tweeky robot (Bee-dee- dee-dee-dee!), there was that big, arrogant robot that was always sparring with Admiral Asimov, the crazy old scientist who inexplicably wore 20th century sweaters, and Hawk, the menacing bird- man with feathers on his head. Kinda lost me after that. Though I will say, the aerial battle between Buck and Hawk was awesome for the time... -Original Message- From: Keith Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 23:48 To: 'Kieth Johnson' Subject: FW: [scifinoir2] Re: Anybody Remember This Scifi Series -Original Message- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Astromancer Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 22:26 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Anybody Remember This Scifi Series Um...I NEVER watched Buck Rogers for the plot...when they tried to give it one, I stopped watching it...LOL Amanda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I remember The Fantastic Journey, but after I got older I got eps from that show, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica mixed up.
